Jebman Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 3 hours ago, Ralph Wiggum said: Link or it didn't happen Eta: nevermind, found it. Wow, I'm moving out to Cali which is obviously the new snow capital of the US: "The precipitation totals for the majority of the south Santa Barbara coast, Ventura, and Los Angeles coasts/valleys will be in the 2-4 inch category. Low snow levels will mean that this could be the largest amount of 24-48 hour snowfall seen in decades (likely rivaling the 1989 storm) for our Ventura and Los Angeles County mountains. Depending on the snow-line, rainfall in the foothills will be from 4-6 inches, but the mountains above 4000 ft could see upwards of 2-5 FEET of snow with isolated amounts to 7 feet at higher elevations. Snowfall of this rate and amount could lead to damage to structures and trees with an immense threat of avalanches, especially in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains by Saturday." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Quote but with this winters general theme have 0 expectations. Quote Skeptical at best for now. I'm gonna propose that people discussing potential 10 day threats do NOT have to EVERY TIME end their post with attempts to lower expectations. We get it, it's past 10 days. No one is expecting anything verbatim. Does not need disclaimer each time. I so move. Do I hear a second? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Okay folks There were about 2 inches of snow on that 8200' platform over at Palisades, they cleared it, well now they got about 4 MORE inches of snow on it and its gonna snow there tonight too! It's been about 8 degrees there all day. Wind's been gusting to 25mph. Excellent conditions for a jebwalk. This is only the Beginning. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Question: was the 7 hours drive up here worth it? Answer: Yes it was times 1000. Its like discovering the cheat code on getting snow. They may get hit against Tuesday, and next weekend and I might just come back, because, this is just too awesome! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If it is that close to our area for the March 4 thing, maybe that means it is but a few hour drive north to get to actual snow - and since on a Saturday, much more chaseable... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Palisades got demolished last night, got 18 inches in the past 24 hours. BIG drift on the 8200' platform! Snow is still pouring down! 6 degrees with gusty snow laden winds! It resembles Rura Penthe, the Klingon snow gulag! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 4 hours ago, LP08 said: woof….those 2’ amounts in Minneapolis are in trouble. I wonder what the reaction would be here. Top report I’ve seen from the southern MSP burbs was 19”. The widespread 18”+ didn’t materialize, but most seem to have ended up with 12-16”. A little disappointing based on the hype, but they were really leaning into ratios to make those numbers and that is a tough game to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest...not if we were forecast for 18"+ because most of us lack relative sanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 tough but fair. I guess the 40 mph winds which would verify a blizzard would probably be what would mitigate all but the craziest amongst us in that hyopthetical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 @stormtracker I know you are a big Beethoven fan. If classical is your thing Brahms #2 is at the Kennedy center tomorrow morning. One of the most melodically beautiful symphonies you will ever hear. You should go check it out. I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
